The Elixir of Beauty, A Gift of Life from Mother Nature!
The Dead Sea is a unique source of minerals, naturally created under extraordinary climatic conditions. The exceptionally high concentration of these minerals in the Dead Sea area is unparalleled anywhere in the world, and has long fascinated researchers and scientists. In the 18th century, interest in Dead Sea minerals grew with the discovery of their marvelous healing properties, particularly for skin diseases. In the years that followed, the Dead Sea became known internationally as a place offering complete and natural cures for skin problems, and visitors began to travel to the area from all over the world.
Although past scientific studies of the Dead Sea’s mineral resources mostly focused on their curative properties for skin diseases, current research is producing its most positive results in the field of healthy skin care and maintenance. Dead Sea cosmetics have gained an international reputation for their many beneficial qualities for maintenance of the skin’s youthful appearance and protection of the cell nucleus against early aging. Minerals are essential external additives for all of us. They have the ability to strengthen each layer of the skin, imparting an anti-aging effect that lasts for hours and even days.
In recent years, the Dead Sea has evolved into the world’s greatest natural source of raw materials for facial and body skin care. The exceptional composition of Dead Sea cosmetics allows them to penetrate the skin more deeply without irritation. This directly enriches the skin with essential minerals, rapidly giving it a better tone and natural radiance.
Use of Dead Sea products has been studied in connection with health benefits and healing properties for physical ailments. Let’s meet some of them:
Provides Relief for Disorders
Symptoms of skin disorders such as psoriasis, eczema and acne can be controlled by using Dead Sea mud. Its rich mineral content accelerates natural exfoliation and restores your skin’s pH balance.
Improves the Look of Facial Skin
A Dead Sea mud mask can improve the appearance of your facial skin by improving elasticity and minimizing pores, wrinkles and lines. When it dries, toxins that may be present in your skin cells from your everyday diet are drawn out. Your face will feel clean and refreshed.
Prevents Hair Loss
Dead Sea minerals can be helpful to prevent hair loss. Heredity, stress and scalp infections can cause hair loss. When blood vessels in the hair follicle shrink, food and oxygen are cut off. This prevents hair protein that is essential for hair growth from forming. Hair growth is stunted, and hair falls out prematurely. To use the mud for this benefit, massage it into your scalp and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rinse and shampoo as usual.
Reduces the Appearance of Cellulite
Dead Sea mud has a high concentration of minerals such as magnesium, calcium and potassium. These minerals promote blood circulation, relaxing your nerves. Cellulite is the fat that causes a cottage-cheese like appearance on your body. Fat and body fluids become trapped in skin tissues near the surface of your skin. Massaging Dead Sea mud on the areas with cellulite stimulates the blood circulation and cleanses toxins out through your pores. This helps flatten out the cottage-cheese bumps that are caused by cellulite.
Reduces Arthritic Knee Pain
Researchers from Ben Gurion University found that patients treated with mud compresses taken from the mineral-rich Dead Sea reported less knee pain from osteoarthritis. The high concentration of minerals in Dead Sea mud help ease knee aches and pains by stimulating the circulatory system and relaxing the nerves.
